[pct-l] august in WA -- rain pants?

[Brad Evergreen]

It hasnt rained here in Northern washington for 6 days now.  That being said, if you have light weight rain pants, I'd bring them.  I am heading out tomorrow and I am bringing them.  They come in handy to keep the fern dew off of you in early morning.  Brad

Several days of rain are not unheard of _any_ time of year in the PNW, even
in July/August. That having been said, the odds are in your favor that it
won't, but it wouldn't hurt to bring *something* to keep you dry, even if
it's light and flimsy.
